Friends star Jennifer Aniston has some choice words for anyone who chooses to judge her for not having children.
The actress, 56, famously wrote an op-ed for The Huffington Post in 2016, addressing long-standing misconceptions that she had always prioritised her work over starting a family.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar UK, Aniston admitted that she was inspired to write the piece - where she addressed publicly for the first time her attempts at IVF - was a "what the hell" moment inspired in part by her empathy for other women also dealing with fertility issues.
How Jennifer Aniston addressed rumours surrounding her personal life
"They didn’t know my story or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family," she told the magazine.
"I don't go out [in public] and tell them about my medical woes.
"That's not anybody's business."
Aniston went on to say that: "There comes a point when you can’t not hear it — the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic. It does affect me. I’m just a human being."
Having shot to superstardom in the 90s as a cast mate in the sitcom Friends, Aniston reached the upper echelons of Hollywood by marrying Brad Pitt in 2000, although the pair would famously divorce in 2005, following speculation that Pitt had cheated on Aniston with his future wife Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.
Following her split from Pitt, Aniston would go on to marry actor Justin Theroux in 2011.
The pair confirmed their split in 2017, but remain friends.
In her 2016 op-ed, Aniston candidly shared that while "I may become a mother some day [...] I’m not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way, as our celebrity news culture would lead us all to believe."
Not that you can tell that Aniston is sweating any of the speculation about her personal life.
Professionally, she's still as busy as ever.
Joining forces with Reese Witherspoon (who famously played the spoiled little sister of her character, Rachel Green, in Friends) in 2019, Aniston currently leads the Apple TV drama The Morning Show as news anchor Alex Levy.
So far, Aniston has picked up two Emmy nominations in 2020 and 2024 for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her work on The Morning Show, although she has yet to win.
The Morning Show is currently airing its fourth season right now, while Aniston will next be seen in the highly anticipated TV adaptation of former Nickelodeon child star Jennette McCurdy's acclaimed 2022 memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died.
Aniston is set to star as McCurdy's troubled and controlling mother, Debra, who died from cancer in 2013.
